This document discusses and compares several film remakes, including 'Quarantine' (a remake of the Spanish film 'Rec'), 'The Karate Kid', and 'War of the Worlds'. It analyzes why production companies produce remakes, focusing on factors like language barriers, popularity of certain filming styles, and using big-name stars to draw audiences. Key reasons for remakes include appealing to a broader English-speaking audience, keeping a similar style to the original for intensity/realism, and harnessing hype around stars like Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.
